Unbearables, known for such events as a protest against the
commodification of the Beats at NYU's Kerouac Conference; annual
readings with poets spread out across the Brooklyn Bridge; and a
blindfold tour of the Whitney Museum. In the early 1980s, he met and
married Nhi Chung, author of Among the Boat People. She
introduced him to Chinatown movie theaters, which played the
path-breaking Hong Kong noir detective films of those days, giving him a
new way to look at the murder mystery. Feast has worked for Fairchild
Publications and later taught at Kingsborough Community College. He
edited seven books by Ralph Nader, including his three novels, and
worked with Barney Rosset on his autobiography. He lives in Brooklyn,
NY.ver menos
